First of all, hi! I'm new to the forum and I'm -really- hoping this is the community to help me.

A year or so ago I started actively collecting NECA's Portal Blind Box figures. I managed to collect what I believe to be all of them. I've attached my collection (the open snake print is missing because he fell and lost a leg and I didn't have a chance to fix him) for reference.

I say "what I believe to be all of them" because once, I saw a person on eBay who had 3 listings that included a color I'd never seen. For whatever reason, I didn't bid on them and I've regretted it since because I have no idea if they were legit or not.. I saved the photos from the listing as proof that I saw these alternate colors, which I've attached to this thread also.

The ones in question are the open and closed version of the Hawaiian Shirt print turret. The turrets on these listings are all in pretty bad shape but I can't figure out if they're real figures or bootlegs of some kind. NECA had a contest when they first launched these portal figures to vote on one of the colors. The choices were Table, Lightning, Mom Tattoo, and Hawaiian shirt. Of those 4 colors, Table was chosen, but Lightning reappeared in Series 3 as a legitimate color. Only Mom Tattoo and Hawaiian shirt are unaccounted for, until I found this eBay listing with what appear to be physical copies of Hawaiian shirt.

The reason I feel these might be real is that they're pictured with other advertised colors, they have visible wear, and were part of the "choose a color" competition from which more than the winning color ended up being printed.

I know this is a bit of an obscure collection so idk if anyone can help me. Does anyone on here have any idea if those photos are legit or not? I really can't tell and it bugs me so much to know that my collection might not be a perfect set. If I can track down the Hawaiian Shirt figures, that would be fantastic.


Thanks in advance; if you need more info, let me know.
